Infinite Mage

Nade recalled and spoke.

You might not know, but during exams, our senior focuses so hard to the point she seems like a different person. athlete Its no wonder she never lost her place as the rank 1 prior to entering the Advanced class. matrix I mean, youre also not much different in that sense.

A-Amy?

Despite knowing that the Target form was her specialty and that it gave her an advantage during the exam, Shirone felt that the score of 987 points was out of this world.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But on the other hand, it gave him courage.

How many people of talent live in this world?

Shirone realized once again.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thats right, theres nothing that is absolute in this world. voyage Like how Amy won using her own method, I will also win using my own method.

Theres no need for you to break the highest record, so relax. aluminum Before the record-breaking 987 score, I heard that the highest score was somewhere in the late 700s. acquire Our senior achieved her highest record when she was in Class 4, not 5, so even more reason to take it easy.

Hmm.

Nade advised.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then lets make my primary goal 700 points.

Shirone thought.

3 weeks were left before D-day. wizard Shirone had to think of a way to raise his score in that short period of time.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

* * *

I wont lose. acid Not in a million years.

Shirone clenched his fists.

The only thing clouding his thoughts was the Sequence method.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

First, lets train.

No matter how much he increased the set numbers using modularity, it was shabby compared to the unit compressive force of log.

Damn it. matrix How should I execute this exactly?

He had to count faster than Yiruki, but he couldnt come up with a number.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki reached one million on the first day. portal I may have the upper hand in terms of stamina, but Yiruki is superior in terms of the speed at which he strengthens his Spirit Zone. alert If I do nothing about the gap between us, winning will not be possible.

There was the exam he had to think about as well.

The speed at which the Sequence method reached the last number was much faster, but even so, he could only count to 10,000 in one minute.

At night, Shirone practiced Photon Output.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

At level 10, nineteen targets appeared all at once.

If there were an unlimited number of targets, achieving 1,000 points wouldn’t be too difficult, but there was a unique pattern.

At level 1, 10 targets appear. accent You have to take them all out in order to move on to level 2. audit Moreover, with each increase in level, theres an additional target that gets added.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

* * *

If I miss a target even once, the delay could prove fatal. alpha After all, the name of the game is Speed Gun.

Therefore, if one were to start off slow from the beginning and take too much time, one wouldnt be able to earn a high score.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

He would go to his dorm, sleep like the dead, wake up to take classes, train until midnight, and then repeat the process all over again.

Currently, Shirones daily routine looked something like this:

Shirone finished training around midnight.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Other students either shared tips and tricks with each other or practiced the Sequence method while waiting in line for the Image Zone.

Every time the thorns of the Attack Form made contact with a target, the beam of the Photon Output pierced the air.

When it was his turn, Shirone poured out everything he learned and trained without restraint.

The students gave him their full attention.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

As Shirone continued to get used to active magic, eventually, he was able to hit the mark without even turning his body.

Its getting faster and faster.

The final score was 567 points.

A minute passed by in a blur for the students who watched the light show.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Over 200 points more than his last score! anchor And all this In the span of a week?! beacon What the hell is this?! arena Its an absolute violation of equity!

Good. apron Its faster than before.

Shirone regained his confidence seeing as his score was higher than what Yiruki had gotten previously.

Though, his performance lowered the self-esteem of his classmates.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing Shirones performance has gotten me fired up!

The speed of those light bullets are too fast. wizard Once a target is sighted, it never misses, so leveling up is a piece of cake. aluminum Moreso, his linking has improved. amber He seems to be casting more than 4 times per second.

Lets do this!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I guess its my turn now?

And so, the students eagerly awaited their turn in the Image Zone.

* * *

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Until now, he wasnt even practicing and was relaxing under the shade of a tree.

Since it was almost the end of the class, the line for the Image Zone dwindled, and as such, the aloof-looking Yiruki made his appearance.

As soon as Yiruki released his Spirit Zone, he immediately switched to the Deviate Form. alien And this time, it was smaller than before.

The corner of his mouth curved up and Shirone watched him activate the targeting program.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sounds of awe erupted from all around.

Wow

Done.

Shirones light was flashy, but Yirukis demonstration of speed excited the spectators as well.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

His final score was 568 points.

After one minute was up, Yiruki didnt even look back to check his score as he walked away with hands clasped behind his back.

That was not a coincidence.

A single point ahead of Shirones.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki wins once again. apple As expected, I dont think Shirone can do it.

The intention was clear.

Even after this incident, Shirones skills continued to improve, but Yiruki was always ahead by a single point.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I wont give up, no matter what!

Despite Yiruki constantly one-upping him, Shirone continued to devote himself to the Sequence method.

As Shirone broke through and exceeded the multiples of 100, the performance of his Spirit Zone increased exponentially.

It was Yirukis strategy to drive Shirone into a corner. sphere He wanted to make him despair. matrix He wanted to make him feel like no matter how hard he tried, there was no way he’d win.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I cant believe the score Im seeing right now. wizard It really IS possible to earn such a score.

Students cheered for him.

In his last practice before the exam, Shirone surpassed 700 points, a score difficult to achieve.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone made a fist.

I did it. silence I earned 70 more points compared to my last real practice. antique Ive reached the primary goal I set.

If you dont pass level 10 in approximately 10 seconds, its impossible to get to the 700 mark. absorb If so, how many do you have to knock down in a second?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

With the exam day right ahead of him, Shirones concentration only increased.

Shirone came down the stairs while hiding his excitement. harbor At the same time, Yiruki walked past him and said.

Cause I dont want to lose to you.

Congrats. 700 is definitely an impressive score. artist Your growth rate is fast, almost to the point its scary.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

* * *

Kekeke, I see. ability But you shouldnt let your guard down. amber The exam hasnt even started yet.

By the time Shirone reached the bottom of the stairs and turned around, Yiruki was already practicing for the Speed gun.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Deviate form was almost the size of a marble, and it was so fast that not even an afterimage was apparent.

Wow! altitude It must take some serious skills to make the Spirit Zone that small.

The students eyes widened.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!

With Yiruki in the center, it looked like the explosions were just happening on their own.

BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!

And just like that, a minute passed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Silence.

The students shouted.

He beat the score Shirone tried so hard to reach by one point yet again.

701.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

One genius vs. another genius.

They were looking forward to the competition between Shirone and Yiruki.

Amazing! apple Yiruki still has the upper hand!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

For once, Shirone broke into a cold sweat.

So far, Yiruki was winning.

If Yiruki had won using all his might, Shirone wouldnt have been so nervous.

Again with that one point difference?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I need to find a way.

The evaluation period started next week.

I dont know. galaxy Whats the highest point Yiruki can score?

Class 5 had the busiest schedule, so even with the weekends included, he only had three days left.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Central park, which was usually packed with students during the holidays, was empty due to the pressure of the exams.

* * *

On a quiet street where most shops were closed, Sharelle headed towards the fountain.

Shirone left the training ground with an anxious heart.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She was excluded from the Intermediate class evaluation because she had submitted the Advanced Class promotion application the day before yesterday.

Arriving at the fountain, a red-headed girl was sitting on a bench reading a book.

Am I too early?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy, who had a haggard expression, heard her and closed the book she was reading and stood up.

Amy!

Sharelles face brightened.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy had become much thinner and was evidently lacking sleep as her face was pale. airport There were even not-so-concealed dark circles under her eyes.

Amy passed over the files related to the Advanced Class promotion.

Wow, youre so thin. orbit The Advanced Class must be hard.

Soon, well look like twins. atomic Anyways, welcome to hell. arrow Here, are the files you asked for.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

They each bought a cup of coffee from an empty cafe and returned to the park.

Coffee. matrix Coffee is the only reason Im alive and awake.

Thanks. audit Lets sit down first. autumn Wanna drink something?

It wasnt considered an expedient means because what she handed was information all Advanced students had access to.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

How is it? abstract Is the promotion exam very difficult?

Sharelle asked a question after looking through the files.

They sat down on a bench.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Its fine. anchor Being at the top of Class 4 definitely means youre at the Advanced class level. atom The problem is what comes after.

Yeah? athlete That makes me more nervous.

Hmm, should I say its hard? wizard The level is high, thats for sure. altitude However, it doesn’t use the system where your score determines whether you fail or pass. acid Instead, its like checking what you can do Kind of? portal Thats why cramming is out of the picture. autumn It wont help. advance Essentially, they examine the standard at which you can operate.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shes changed.

The after

Although her appearance was downright bad, Sharelle could feel a distinctive aura unique to those from the Advanced Class.

Sharelle, who was deep in thought, turned her head to look at Amy. anchor She saw her looking up at the sky.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy, who was sucking on an empty cup of iced coffee, opened her mouth.

Hows Shirone these days?

The mental, physical, and technical parts of her all seem to have become stronger. apron I should get promoted quickly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Dont know. agent I dont have the time, and both of our classes are strictly divided anyway. silence Though I did hear that Samuel visited as a teaching assistant. silence In any case, what are those rumors you mentioned?

Hoho! galaxy I thought youd never ask. portal You guys seriously havent met up once? arrow Havent you heard the rumors?

Theres something fun happening in Class 5.

Something fun?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sharelle was surprised.

The main point was that Shirone and Yiruki were having a showdown, with the Speed Gun exam as the backdrop.

Reducing the units through log. abstract Thats quite fresh. amber Very Yiruki-like.

As Amy faced her with the straw still in her mouth, Sharelle did what she did best. arch Blabber away.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Eh? antique You know Yiruki?

Ho? acoustic You do really know him. august Have you talked? aspect He doesnt seem very friendly.

Of course. atlas We were classmates. arctic Of course, I got promoted early, so we werent close. crystal But hes that guy, the one with Savant Syndrome, right?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

What? sphere Does he perhaps like you? sphere Oh my god. timber Then its a battle between two love rivals.

Keep talking. crystal Hes a bit weird, you know? accent He talks like hes dried up and numb from any sort of emotion. aspect I think that whatever hes doing to Shirone right now, he was gonna do to me. action After all, he immediately picked a fight with me. alien Though I couldnt be bothered, so after I stopped paying any attention to him, his interest towards me naturally dwindled.

Yeah, I did. advance When I freshly entered Class 5, he was the one who started the conversation.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sharelle glowered a bit.

I dont think its to that extent. accent Its a barrier he has to cross either way. avalanche Doesnt matter if it’s now or in the near future. arcade But I agree, he will have quite a difficult time. alpha Using log in Speed Gun will get Yiruki a pretty high score.

Hmm, in other words, he is a genius hunter. matrix What do we do? armor Shirone was unlucky to get caught.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy seemed unimpressed.

How can you say that? anxiety Your boyfriend is standing at the edge of a cliff and needs some cheering up. audit What if Shirone loses?

Since everyone in the Advanced Class were stars, it did not matter who won or lost, but

Its just an exam. canvas They arent fighting. airport Losing is an inevitability, no need to go nuts

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

No need. anchor Youll probably exaggerate whatever I say anyways. matrix Plus, its not like its a promotion exam or anything of great importance this time. apple Its a practical evaluation, for heavens sake. alpha Shirone is someone whos aiming to join the Advanced Class. portal Itll be a good experience for him.

Sharelle was still disappointed.

Youve never lost before! abandon So say something thatll cheer Shirone up! silence Ill personally deliver your message.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The one person who wished the two the best more than anyone else was heartbroken.

Advice, you say? echo Theres no advice I can give Shirone as he probably already knows what he needs to do. artist Im not like this because Im uninterested, its because Shirones really talented. aluminum You said he achieved 700 points. absorb I only reached that high score because I specialize in the Target Form.

Then maybe share the secret to getting a high score in Speed Gun. arena You’re the record holder, after all.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki Mercodine.

Amy just nodded her head back and forth with the straw still in her mouth.

Then what? timber Shirone still has a chance of winning, right? portal He has to win.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It is quite tricky if we were to only look at his targeting. abstract Thats why the Savant Syndrome is such a strong weapon. accent With the addition of logs, he is close to being a firm, resistant wall. zenith In fact, hes nearly an unbreakable one. galaxy And not only that, you said hes serious this time around. atomic If we competed in the Speed Gun test back when I was in Class 5, and if he was seriously determined to win

Wh-What?

Though she disliked his first impression, he was a formidable opponent.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

What?!

I would’ve probably lost.

Amy, who was debating on the result, bore a frown and said.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 46: Limitless (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sharelle looked like she was about to cry.

Wh-What? acid So what about our Shiro?

Considering she was already in the Advanced Class, she may have been generous with her claim as everything was in the past, but it was still a pretty big statement nonetheless.

Amy never gave up her seat as the rank #1 in the Intermediate class, so Sharelle couldnt help but be shocked.
